Personally I think it's still better to just convert the architectures
over like I did. It has to be done anyways, since you can't leave
the warnings in.
When that is done it doesn't matter much which level you hcange.
I offer my tested patchkit for that :) Main advantage is that since
it's already been tested for quite some time it would be possible
to merge it much faster. And Nick would save some work someone
else already did ;-)
If it helps I can do a global s/pml4_t/p<whatevernamelinusprefers>_t/ too.
